3. Install the forepump on the floor close to the mass spectrometer. The total length of the
vacuum hose connecting the mass spectrometer to the forepump should not exceed 8 ft.
Depending on available space, you have two options for the placement of the forepump
and for connecting the vacuum hose from the mass spectrometer to the forepump:
• If the workbench has space beneath it, place the forepump under the workbench
immediately behind the mass spectrometer as shown in Figure 1. Either run the
vacuum hose behind the workbench or make a 6.4 cm (2.5 in.) diameter hole
through the bench for the vacuum hose. If necessary, allow room to run the power
cords from the forepump through the hole.
• If the workbench has limited space under or at the end of it, place the forepump on
the floor in front of the mass spectrometer.
Table 2 lists the space requirements and weights of the typical TSQ Quantum XLS or TSQ
Quantum GC system components.
CAUTION Whenever possible, provide space under the workbench for the
forepump. If placed in front of the mass spectrometer, the forepump can block
access to drawers and cabinets and can represent a trip hazard.
IMPORTANT You must be able to move the GC away from the mass
spectrometer by 36 cm (14 in.) to remove or install the transfer line. Ensure there
is sufficient table space to the left of the GC, as shown in Figure 2.
Note To maintain forepump integrity, route the exhaust tubing from the exhaust
port down to the floor, not from the forepump vertically toward the ceiling.
